Download API definition:

This API is a Technical Preview and is available for testing purposes only. Do not use in production.

Create Appearance Profile

POST https://qa-api.bentley.com/schedules/{scheduleId}/appearance-profiles

Creates an Appearance Profile for a Schedule.

V10 Endpoint

This endpoint is only supported by v10 schedules. The schedule type can be identified by querying the /schedules/{scheduleId} endpoint.

Appearance Profiles provide an indication of how a particular resource is used in a SYNCHRO Project, and allows the appearance (display, colour and transparency) of the resource to be changed as the resource is utilised.

Appearance Profile Actions

Appearance profile Action describes how assigned resources are displayed before, during and after the assigned Task.

Operation

Operations, also known as LROs (Long Running Operations), are time-consuming tasks that would not be completed in the appropriate timeframe for a single request response. Endpoints that use operations return an operation id that can be used on a separate endpoint to track the progress of the task that is being handled.

Authentication

Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.

Rate limits

All iTwin Platform API operations have a rate limit. For more documentation on that visit Rate limits and quotas page.

Request

Request parameters

scheduleId

Yes

The unique identifier of the Schedule.
